**Buile Shuibhne** · 01/05/2009, 6:14 PM

GAME CALLED OFF

The referee has called the game OFF

Pitch unplayable

Too much sand and stones on the pitch

Bohs
Shels
Derry
Rovers @ 13/2

Anyone know what happens now that game is off?

**Mr A** · 01/05/2009, 6:35 PM

Chances are it's void.

**Sheridan** · 01/05/2009, 6:36 PM

Normally they'll pay out on the games that went ahead (under the revised accumulated odds.)

**Aaron** · 01/05/2009, 6:36 PM

It's good to see that those worst affected by this SHAM of an excuse for a semi-pro club are having their grievances aired here

Sanded, gravelled and tactically ROCKED by all accounts

We are only in the League 40 years give us a chance to find our feet.

**dfclilywhite** · 01/05/2009, 7:44 PM

If only you had an artificial pitch.

**Mr A** · 01/05/2009, 7:51 PM

Just heard that both sides felt the pitch was fine and wanted to play the game.

**exiled_gufc_fan** · 01/05/2009, 7:55 PM

Was it Buttimer up to no good again then?

**exiled_gufc_fan** · 01/05/2009, 8:17 PM

Apologies to Buttimer, ref is T. Connolly

Complete and utter ******.

I've spoken to Shels players & officials.

The pitch was a disgrace - completely dangerous and unplayable.

The FAI should throw the book at Harps and refix the game in Tolka or at least a neutral ground.

Harps licence for Finn Park should be withdrawn.

Complete joke

Should the FAI pay for harps pitch to be brought up to standard.

Considering they did it for Shels. 2 seasons ago tolka was a death trap and the FAI paid for it to be fixed. Assume all the shels fan that went to the game can feel some empathy for harps knowing whats it like to have an unplayable pitch and having no money to fix it.
